Answer:No, secondary impacts are much worse than primary impacts of an earthquake.

Explanation: The primary impacts are the direct effect of the disaster and it's the main part of the disaster. The secondary impacts are caused by the effects of the primary impacts. Most times, the secondary effects of earthquakes are much worse because they are the aftermath of the primary impacts with tend to be much more devastating.
